Result: Tie
It's a tie 1–1 — each card wins something the other loses. 1inch Card converts cheaper (0.0%); Paycek needs less verification. Pick the one whose strength matches how you actually spend.
Put 1inch Card next to Paycek and the trade-off becomes clear quickly — one optimises cost, the other optimises access. Paycek charges 1.5% per conversion — more than 1inch Card at 0.0% — so heavy users save more with 1inch Card. Paycek keeps verification light, 1inch Card does not — that alone decides it for privacy-minded users and for anyone who needs a card today. Both settle comfortably from stablecoins, which is the sane way to use either card — spending a volatile coin locks in that day's price and creates a taxable disposal. Coverage overlaps in EU, Global; outside that, check the issuer's country list before applying.

Yes. 1inch Card converts at 0.0% against 1.5%, a difference of about $15.00 per $1,000 spent.
Paycek issues without identity verification, which suits small balances and quick starts. 1inch Card requires partial verification. Expect lower limits on unverified accounts.
Both serve EU residents, but since MiCA applied in full the issuer must hold an EEA authorisation, so the exact country list can change. Check the issuer's coverage page before applying.
Both settle from stablecoins (1inch Card: USDC, USDT, DAI; Paycek: BTC, ETH, USDT +20), which avoids locking in a volatile price at the till.
